looks good Jonpaul. Is it just one Mb64? Looks like a lot of faders/knobs, although i didnt count

Yeah it is. Although we are short of two pots. I have to express my thanks to my mate Warren who has done all the CAD. He is currently working on rendering the final design

Each channel has: one volume, stop button, 6x play clips, headphone cue, 2x fx sends, filter section with cutoff/resonance pots + lp, bp, hp buttons, also eq section with pots and kill switches, gain and channel "focus" button. Also has loop section, tempo, master and 10 assignable pots. Also headphone jack and volume.

He said that the hardest part was a few hours sat at the CAD computer!!

Not quite as quick as that eh?

how much do you think this will cost? my custom build is rocking up at around 650 euros without the housing or face plate and it only got 48 encoders. i can see it breaking 800 euros before im done.

It actually was not that much longer. Its just because we have been trying to fit this in around the birds and jobs etc.

I think the electronincs were 100 pounds and the faders and buttons come to 235 pounds. We got some really nice Panasonic faders which are just smooooooooooooooth!

I reckon it will come in under 500

what about the housing and face plate, how are you going to make it? is this included in the price?

don't worry man, that shit takes a lot of time. Besides, it's a hobby project, you don't rush those.

Hopefully my chum who is an engineer type electronics dude, is callingin a favour. I think the top panal is going to be 2 ply- black on top and white underneath. The artwork gets put into CAD and then a laser etches the black away to reveal the white. I would like to print onto a metal casing but i think this is gonna be costly. Anyway, it could go either way. I have noticed in the past that sweat can wear away paint on commercially available mixers. Wouldn't want that to happen Eeeeeek!

a year on, have we a finished product?

No and its embarrasing. I am relying on another person and he is just too busy.
